The house was originally built in the 17th century[1] and functioned as a rectory for some time. It opened as a luxury hotel in 1988 and retained its Edwardian bathrooms, open fireplaces, and antique furnishings including paintings and porcelain.[1] The hotel had 10 ensuite rooms, with many of the rooms retaining their Victorian or Edwardian appearance with four-poster beds etc.[2]
The hotel was featured in the Doctor Who universe twice, once in the series one serial of the Sarah Jane Aventures, 'Eye of the Gorgon' and again in a series four episode of Doctor Who, 'Turn Left'. The two appearances are not related however: in the Sarah Jane Adventures it was a care home for the elderly, and in Doctor Who it was as a hotel for Donna Noble's family. The hotel closed for business in 2010.[citation needed]
